Alternate News Reader UIs


Alternate News Reader UIs 02/10/2004 03:02 AM

Here are some alternative news reader UI ideas to consider.  First two are usuable as is, but the rest require quite a bit of polishing and crafting before they can be useful.  I came up with them while I was sitting at a recent workshop after hearing the speaker complain about how boring existing news readers are.

Flashcard UI

News item are displayed on flashcards.  Background color, font size, and number of items per card (1-7), and transition effect should be configurable.  User can navigate forward or backward to next or previous set of headline.  Up or escape to wider view (list of news or sources) should be available.  Fullscreen-mode is essential.

Movie Credit Screen UI

Similar to Flashcard-style UI but visual presentation effects seen commonly in movie opening or closing credit screens are used.  UI should not emphasize more than one news item at one time.  For example, if news items fade or blur in and out then current candidate for further reading should be most noticeable.  Background music and entertaining audio ads can be be used simultaneously.  Again fullscreen-mode is essential.  Screensaver-mode is optional.

Video Game UI

Wild array of UIs are possible here including using news items as prizes, gates, or monsters.

Multiplayer UI

You can see what others are interested in using various UI schemes such as footprints, ranking, etc.

A refined version of these UI might fade in a transparent headline over the screen or in some assigned space for a 'while' when user hasn't moved the mouse or typed anything for certain amount of time.  Since most news one might read using a news reader aren't urgent, you can spread hundreds of headlines over the entire day instead of flooding the reader with large number of popups simultaneously like SharpReader does.

These ideas are just branches off a single idea: news readers as boob tubes for couch potatos.  Instead of overwelming the user with long list of articles and folders, turn it into a linear experience like the TV.  Press the power button to turn it on and just sit back until you see something you like and then press another button to dive in.  Add another button for fast-forward or switch the channel.

News Sites, Where the Men Are 08/04/2004 04:43 AM

How to Make News Sites Better


How to Make News Sites Better 06/06/2004 05:31 PM

CyberJournalist. net: 101 ways to improve your news site: Some great suggestions here on how to improve news Web sites. I emailed this link to the Webmasters of the big three news stations here in Sioux Falls.

Post a form at the end of a breaking news story asking witnesses to send in details of what they saw — and then add the information you can verify to the story. [...] Invite anyone in your community to write Weblogs for your news site [...] Take the best content from Weblogs on your news site (now that you've got so many) and publish them in your newspaper.

I know what I do when I encounter a news site that requires registration I go elsewhere. Why do I want to entrust a news company with my personal demographic information when I can read the same story on a news site that does not require registration. Wired takes a look at sites offering ways to bypass site registration and Techdirt offers commentary on the sheer stupidity of news sites that hide their content from behind a login.

Harm Than Good For News Sites


Why Requiring Registration Does More
Harm Than Good For News Sites
02/12/2004 05:00 PM
We've been discussing news site registration lately, and Digital Deliverance has a piece where they explain why it's likely to backfire for almost all sites who try it. As we were just saying last week, sites that require registration and/or demographic info tend to get many fewer visitors and a ton of bogus data. As the Digital Deliverance piece points out, most sites aren't even doing anything with that dirty data - so it's completely useless. They're getting fewer visitors and bad data they don't even use for any reasonable purpose. This certainly doesn't help them get more advertising, but the fewer readers does mean they'll get less advertising. Doesn't seem like such a smart strategy - and yet more sites seem to be doing it every day.

Speedy Sheets


Speedy Sheets 05/12/2004 04:03 PM
This is a n ice little hint from Mac OS X Hints — you know those little sheets that slide out from document windows when you save or print? They appear in Cocoa apps like TextEdit, Mail, iPhoto etc. You can speed things up by changing the defaults setting with this command : defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime .001 Now, instead of waiting for the window to slide out, it instantly appears and disappears, letting you get on. Eye candy is nice, but sometimes you just wanna get stuff done quickly and easily.
